To paint is to free your soul. to find peace in a special place. The overwhelming desire to capture a bliss moment of emotion and love, a moment in the here and now captured on canvas. No worries just a place of freedom where the choice of colour is your only concern. Paintings inspired by the beauty of a last sunset a crisp morning.

My development as an independent artist started in childhood and the last 25 years of self teaching has enabled my own emotional abstraction language and huge body of work. From a working class background secondary education, I have worked relentlessly to improve understand the masters and develop my own international presence in the art world.

I was born in Kent England 1973. My 25 year career began as an Emotional Abstractionist, shaped by observations of Kunstwerken Verzameld Theo en Vincent in Amsterdam. I relied on the rhythms of the subconscious, which changed daily and capriciously.

I came to painting in a childlike primitive way, Initially suspicious of structures of academia and instead and instead took my learning from the modern masters. Unlikely sources such as Hirst Spot Paintings at Tate Modern in London and there "appeal of endlessness" along with William de Kooning ,Miro,Rothko, Saville and Helma Klutz, all set me on a trajectory through layering and chaos.

In the mid 2020s, I started to study directly under Edward Povey whose emotional realist paintings hang alongside Fischl, Lichenstein, Chagall and Picasso. This caused a gradual shift in my work towards greater reflection and a more intenational approach, as I spent time with the European Colourists of 1895 to 1920 as my new influence.
